What I meant Luxo JR. was that I will have a 2 Gig pc with a Ultra 3 this Fall, and that it would be nice to have MO on the PC this Fall. It's just not going to happen As for September 2002 Mo will be on PC no problem, by then Geforce 4 Ultra's will be around with 2.5 gig PC's.
You are right about Giants, it takes power, to play it at 1600x1200 resolution with all the hardware extras on it takes a 900 MHZ Pc with a GEforce 2 DDR.
I believe that MO would take about 1.2 gigs with a Geforce 2 Ultra to play it at top level .
MO on XBOX is not using all the system's power, 733MHZ and GEforce 3 on XBOX is not all the power issues that XBOX has.
I believe that about 6 months after the March 2002 worldwide release, September or so PC's will have it . By then 1.5 Gigs of MHZ and Geforce 3's will be much cheaper. No problem at all for PC's.
But the real issue is do you really want to wait for so long? Don't forget that you get a Dvd system, if you already have one, well an extra one. You will be using the system for about 5 years. That's over 1800 day's of sooo much more gaming options.
Let's say you get 5 games a year on XBOX, that's 25 in 5 years. The games are becoming longer, at least the extra sweet ones, ok 60 hours on average, thats 60 hours x 25 games that equals to 1500 hours or so of gaming bliss in 5 years.For what 250-300 dollars extra. That's like 20 cents an hour. When you go to a movie you're spending 4 dollars or so an hour. For your money you can't go wrong with the system. Don't forget you will be only choosing you're fav 5 games a year, so only top quaulity games need apply.
You're all cool fun people, just at least consider the XBOX, by the time E3 rolls around you will see at least 20 real reasons for an XBOX purchase, and that's just it's first generation games, don't forget the future, more will come then as well.
If there's a problem with expense just get you're loved ones and friends to pool money for you, you know Birthday's and such. Instead of 5 or 10 seperate gifts, get them to get you one speacial one the XBOX.
I just don't want anyone to miss out, so find a way, OK........
Oddipus: You got time my Belgian brother. After E3 preorders will become available. If you wait until March of 2002 for it to come in wonderful Belgium you must first wait an extra 4 months and it will cost an extra $ 100 dollars or so there.
My suggestion would be to pre-order an American XBOX, have it sent out to you the day it hits the States, the cost will still be less for you and you get it earlier. Plus all future games coming for it come out earlier in the States for the most part. I will find out the details soon and relay the message to you about getting it to Belgium. Dont forget MO is 200+ hours of gaming bliss, that's like 5 or 6 games in one, it's worth it. Plus sooo many other sweet titles coming for XBOX.
So you are Belgian, my Mother is Belgian, we have a extra sweet family home in Belgium. I spend about 5 or 6 months a year in Belgium and Europe, I cruise Europe's hot spots the rest of the time, I love it. Do you know of Aalst, that sweet jewel of a town right in between Brussels and Gent, that's the place. I will be expanding my CG studio to either Aalst or Brugge this Fall. My present studio is in Newport Beach California, real cool, but I dig Europe overall more, it's just so much more for me. It's good to have both places.
Man I type too much, I'll see you later.
